Health achievements in Central America five years after Hurricane Mitch PAHO/WHO

We hope that the following pages serve as a testament and recognition to the professional work and commitment of thousands of people who have been, and still are, the direct performers of all activities carried out under the project entitled Vulnerability Reduction and Disaster Preparedness in Countries affected by Hurricane Mitch. Projects have a deadline, but this one represents a good example of how actions undertaken and the experience acquired are transformed in knowledge that allows better health services to be provided, as well as better quality of life for populations at risk to be achieved.
